Cronkite Intervenes

Here we see Walter Cronkite brandishing some cold-war contraption in an attempt to get me to finish this weeks strip. NO DICE, WALLY! Actually, it should be up Saturday. And that's the way it, uh, is... going to be...

If this becomes one of those momentum-gaining buzzwords I am going to be very, very annoyed. Not to mention if they throw a trademark on the thing. Damn them and their energy-saving ways!!!

Pearl Harbor/Anime Day

Over at Cartoon Brew, Jerry Beck informs us that the New York Anime Festival starts on December 7th, Pearl Harbor Day. Just some harmless irony.

FYI, the above screen-shot is from Miyazaki's Spirited Away, a masterpiece and personal favorite.

Where's Goopy Geer?

Love this one. The character Goopy Geer only lasted for three shorts, not quite the engaging front-man that Harman and Ising had envisioned.

Happy Generic Thanksgiving! I hope everyone pauses to hold their turkey mirthfully while others lean in and simulate olfactory pleasure!

Wackystan?

Wow, in the category of unsettling understatements concerning world affairs, this strip wins hands down. Have a five cent stogie.




This is pretty humorous though. I can relate.

The Duck Story Endeth

And so, the tale of Homer and Shirley the Duck and Shirley the Person comes to an end. The ducklings have morphed into adulthood seemingly overnight, their once baby-blue plumage now green and... orange? I don't know where Shirley the Duck is. Devoured by her young, no doubt. And they seem to have excluded the final panel in which Homer goes into a Tony Soprano-esque meltdown as the ducklings flutter away. "Luca Brazzi sleeps with the muskies." Yeah I know that's The Godfather but when Christopher and Big Pussy were dumping that body in the first ep they... oh forget it.
